Please note a message from our swimming coaches:
Please make sure students have swim caps and goggles for every swimming lesson
Swim caps and goggles are necessary to support mastery of swimming skills.
Caps keep hair out of the children's faces to allow continuity of movement so students can see and breathe. When children are not having to worry about their hair blocking their airways, they are more relaxed and swimming becomes easier. (Wearing caps also helps maintain the cleanliness of the pool as filtration systems and pool vacuum cleaners work better without hair floating around in the pool.)
Goggles assist swimmers in swimming straight and help develop spatial awareness when looking underwater. When worn during the lesson, goggles also allow communication with the teacher underwater and prevent swimmers’ eyes from not becoming sore.
